A surge in serious crimes by illegal immigrants—many repeat offenders—who have been shielded by sanctuary laws isn’t stopping legislators in Massachusetts from quietly pushing for a measure that would protect undocumented aliens statewide.
The move could not have come at a worse time, as the nation reels from a series of atrocious crimes committed by illegal aliens who long ago should have been deported. Instead, they were protected by sanctuary laws despite their criminal histories and illegal status in the U.S. A recent example is the gruesome July 4 San Francisco murder of a young woman by an illegal immigrant thug with seven felony convictions. The Mexican national had been deported five times.
Like a number of municipalities across the nation, San Francisco’s sanctuary law protects illegal aliens and bans any sort of cooperation with federal authorities, even when the perpetrator is guilty of a serious offense. In fact, in the recent San Francisco case Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had issued a detainer for the illegal alien, 45-year-old Francisco Sanchez, but local authorities did not honor it and instead released him. San Francisco’s mayor defended the policy after the senseless murder, saying that it “protects residents regardless of immigration status and is not intended to protect repeat, serious and violent felons.”
More than 200 cities, counties, and states across the U.S. protect criminal aliens from deportation by refusing to comply with ICE detainers or otherwise impede information exchanges between their employees, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. Among them is Cook County in Illinois, Miami-Dade County in south Florida and practically the entire state of California. In Massachusetts only a couple of cities—Amherst and Boston—have sanctuary measures in place and some state lawmakers want to broaden the protection.
The legislature is looking to pass a measure that will offer sanctuary protections to illegal aliens statewide.

If they do it, give them 30 days to rescind it or lose ALL federal funding.
We is the AMERICAN LIVES matter crowd on this issue..oh thats right, whites are all racists
You don't hear about MD. We should be more interested in MD than other states. MD is a sanctuary state and Baltimore is a sanctuary city. So what is MD laws pertaining to Illegals? What is the crimes they are committing in MD? Lets look out for our backyard for a change before it gets any worst.
Insane policy. If you commit a crime, you're a criminal, and subject to criminal penalties. If the municipalities extend sanctuary to everyone, then the playing field is level. Otherwise, it's preferential and not acceptable by any notion.
Let's just make Balto the designated "Sanctuary City", let them coagulate there, then nuke the city. Tell the Orioles the day before, though...
